Today celebrates Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania 25 years from the Baltic Way, when around 2 million persons standing hand in hand in a line 600 km long and had mass demonstration towards it's own freedom and independence from Russia. In that time I was only 10 years old, but still remember it. A lot of people from my home town went to next town, to be part of the chain. Together with that kind of demonstration we also had singing revolution and first time our flag was out again since 1939. All this maybe has made me feel that I am proud Estonian in my heart even thought I live and have live 1/3 years from my life abroad. That was proof that demonstrations can be also peaceful. Not like today we hear from the news.
